The Viet Nam war was lost in America and if we allow the Leftist Surrender Monkeys to have their way; the Iraq war & war on terrorism will also be lost in America.

No, the Vietnam war was lost in the way we tried to fight it. We tried to pretend it was like WWII.

Certainly worth posting and reminding people that the 'received' version is not the accurate one. Iraq and Vietnam share only the still-valid American vision of the Just Cause which brings the vanquished to 'the prosperity of peace', promotes human dignity and human rights for all, and upholds the value that civilization must prevail over barbarism. This has certainly proven true for Vietnam, which today is a thriving country, enjoying the prosperity of peace after 1000 years of war. Halberstam et al offered a micro-vision of the causes, stresses, and intrigues, while overlooking entirely the macro-view, the larger picture, of the place of the American involvement in Vietnam in the history of civilizing forces.

My late Father, a WW2 Vet, said in 1971 just before his death, "We need to go through the news departments of CBS, NBC and ABC and bayonet every one of them traitor sumbitches."
Pappy was a man ahead of his time. I second his sentiments towards today MSM...
However, I would widen the field to include the NYT, WP, the Democratic Party and Congress...

If I remember right, LBJ was given the option of winning in Vietnam. He chose a war of attrition. Funny how Democrats always seen to construct our losses based on their decisions and then blame it on those who follow.
